An American Werewolf in London.
While wandering the English moors on vacation, college yanks David (David
Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) happen upon a quaint pub with a mysterious
patronage who warn them not to leave the road when walking after dark.
Irreverent of such advice as characters in horror films always are, the two
decide to find a short cut....David wakes up in the hospital with a nasty bite
wound to his shoulder; the freshly deceased, and rapidly decomposing, Jack
arrives soon after to deliver the grim news that, unless he commits suicide,
David will become a werewolf when the moon is full. David dismisses the
encounter as a hallucination, but all indicators point to lycanthrope;
evenings of barking and blood letting follow closely behind. While the story
is thin and much of the tongue-in-cheek humour is overdone, there are plenty
of genuine jolts thanks to make-up guru Rick Baker's eye-popping special
effects. The werewolf, resembling a cross between a bear and a wolverine,
appears frighteningly real, and, given the fantastic premise, the gore is
most convincing (although surprisingly and refreshingly scant). The hospital
dream sequences are creative, and the scenes in which the werewolf runs
rampant through down town London are particularly good. In all, An American
Werewolf in London is an original, atmospheric film that manages both to scare
and amuse. While dismissed by most American critics upon its release, the
film managed to secure a place in the annals of American cinema when Baker
won an Academy Award for his amazing effects and creature designs.

An American Werewolf in Paris.
This British-Dutch-Luxembourgian co-production is "based on characters created
by John Landis" for his An American Werewolf in London (1981). In the opening,
a man is seen under attack, almost managing an escape from the Parisian sewers
before an unseen creature pulls him back. Meanwhile, tourist Andy (Tom Everett
Scott) is seeing the sights of Paris with his pals Brad (Vince Vieluf) and
Chris (Phil Buckman). When Serafine (Julie Delpy) leaps off the Eiffel Tower
just before Andy is about to do a bungee-jump, he executes a mid-air rescue.
She vanishes into the night, leaving Andy intrigued -- and also unaware that
she is the offspring of the couple (Jenny Agutter, David Naughton) seen 16
years earlier in An American Werewolf in London. Andy tracks her down, asks
for a date, attends a party, and winds up in her bed. When he awakens, he has
tooth marks on his leg and is informed that he's making a transformation into
a werewolf, confirmed by his sudden taste for rare steaks. Serafine explains
that her stepfather (seen in the film's opening scene) had been working on a
drug to control her werewolf transformations. Beneath a full moon, the
lycanthropic love story continues. Filmed in Luxembourg, Amsterdam, Paris,
and New York, with special effects mainly from California's Santa Barbara
Studios. Werewolves were created by combining prosthetic devices and
animatronics with computer-generated creatures.
